    Abstract: A technique detects (406) when a computer simulation controller such as a computer game controller (200) is idle and, thus, that the simulation (game) should be paused immediately (412, 518) without waiting for an "AwayFromKeyboard" timer to time out by detecting whether the user has laid the controller down and gone away or simply is not responding.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for training a model using a simulated character for animating a facial expression of a game character. The method includes generating facial expressions of the simulated character using input label value files (iLVFs). The method includes capturing mesh data of the simulated character using a virtual camera to generate three- dimensional (3D) depth data of a face of the simulated character. In one embodiment, the 3D depth data being output as mesh files corresponding to frames captured by the virtual camera. The method includes processing the iLVFs and the mesh data to train the model. In one embodiment, the model is configured to receive input mesh files from a human actor to generate output label value files (oLVFs) that are used for animating the facial expression of the game character. In this way, a real human actor is not required for training the model.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for re-mastering animation files used in a video game includes identifying a rig used for representing a virtual character of the video game. Virtual markers are applied to the rig to generate a modified rig. Animation files for the virtual character are executed using the modified rig and a virtual camera is activated to capture images of the animation of the modified rig. Images of the modified rig are used to define performance data. The performance data is applied to a new rig of the virtual character to generate re-mastered animation files. The re-mastered animation files are used in the video game to generate gameplay data.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for executing a video game for a player. The method includes determining a golden path associated with a gameplay of a player. The golden path includes a plurality of main story quests associated with the golden path. The method includes processing the gameplay to identify player gaming metrics as the player progresses along the golden path. The method includes examining the player gaming metrics to identify a game region along the golden path where the player is determined to need assistance to advance in the video game. The method includes generating a dynamic quest for the player. The dynamic quest is generated with one or more sub-parts to enable acquisition of a reward that is useful for assisting the player to make advancement in said video game along the golden path. The method includes inserting the dynamic quest along the golden path, the inserting presents the dynamic quest to the player and enables said acquisition of said reward.

    Abstract: A method, system and device for controller operation, comprises detecting a change in a state of the controller from a charging state to an operation state. A state of the computing device changes from a controller charging state to a controller operation state in response to detecting the change in the state of the controller. The computing device receives an input from the controller and sends a visual indication of the input to a display device. Additionally, a method, system and device for enhanced controller charging, may comprise detecting a change in a controller state from an operation state to a charging state. A computing device determines whether an ignore input is present after detecting the change in controller state and automatically signs out of a user account or automatically goes into a standby mode when the ignore input is not present.
